"Ooops. Maybe cutting Ben Tate was a bad idea"

[Ogre]

It's very simple.  Like you, and many other Alabamians I pulled for the Falcons simply because there was no other pro team to pull for. 
The year is 1980.  Steve Bartkowski and William Andrews have raised the hopes and dreams of an 11 year old who had just endured a 5-6 Barfield season with heavy commentary from the Warden due to losing all 6 of it's conference games. 
This dream season of the Falcons is finally going to be the bright spot.  Nope.  Allowing the Cowboys to score 20 points in the 4th quarter lead by Danny fudgeing White.  Did you hear me?  DANNY WHITE!
30-27.
fudge the Falcons.  fudge them long and hard.

LACES OUT DAN!!!1

Also, they suck.

I'm not sure that a Saints fan who has not endured the paperbag treatment in the Superdome has a leg to stand on.

Danny was a Sun Debil

I know you guys are Falcon haters but I'd love to see him in the ATL.  The Falcons screwed up royally letting Turner get away and bringing in Steven Jackson. Tate could be the feature back and Atlanta does run the ball a good bit.

No the falcons have a decent running back in Jaquizzy, but were stupid and sat him after Jackson got healthy.

This right here is why I never got into pro sports.  As a kid in Alabama in the '80's who was I going to cheer for?  The Falcons? 


The Saints?


edit:  This guy gets bonus points for using a bag that still has french fry grease on it.

The Hawks?



The Braves?



No thanks, just wake me up when Auburn is playing again.

Yep and yep.  We watched the Braves and went to Braves games with our youth group, because tickets were as cheap as one of wes's dates.  But there was never an expectation that they would actually, you know, WIN...  Come to think of it, I am not sure that I ever saw the Braves win a game in Fulton County Stadium in person.  I saw a few on tv but never in person.

I love the Falcons and letting Turner go was the right thing to do. Slower than shit in his old age.

Tate is a free agent and will get big money somewhere. I wish it was the Falcons. I see him having a few good years like Jamal Anderson left in the tank. ATL would be a good place to do it. Quiz cannot handle a full load. But he and Tate would be a good pair if used right. I'm just not sure ATL knows how to do that. But Tate would run Jackson off. Jackson just cannot explode well enough in this offense.

Jaquiz was seen as the missing piece for Ryan as was Bush at New Orleans. But Atlanta lost two key defenders to free agency (maybe one was injured) before the plan took effect. Turner couldn't catch a cold, Rodgers was no help inside and if memory serves Julio was nursing injuries that last playoff appearance. Falconish no?

So Kipper predicting that Johnny Autograph goes number 1 overall to the Houston Texans.  So you get to cheer for that Wench.

Somehow I do not see him fitting in working for Bob McNair.  Again - squeaky clean image in H-town - if they sign him, I bet the morals clause in his contract is a fucking doozy.

What has he gotten in trouble for that does not involve possibly breaking one of the dumber NCAA rules?

He did have the one misdemeanor arrest for not identifying himself to a cop, but if his days of rambunctiousness and misdemeanorin' are behind him, and they are aren't they boys?, then I say that that boy is pardoned.
